Overview

Una emocionante historia basada en hechos reales sobre la memoria, el amor y la esperanza en medio del horror de Auschwitz.

En septiembre de 1943, la joven Ella llega prisionera al campo de concentración de Auschwitz, desde Francia. La jefa del campo de mujeres, la sanguinaria SS María Mandel, apodada la Bestia, descubre que su caligrafía es perfecta y la incorpora como copista en la Orquesta de Mujeres. Gracias a su conocimiento de idiomas, Ella comienza a trabajar en el Bloque Kanadá donde encuentra numerosas postales y fotografías en los equipajes de los deportados, y decide escribir en ellas sus historias para que nadie olvide quiénes fueron. Mientras forma lazos de amistad con las presas, sobrevive a la maldad de sus captores y evita que descubran su particular resistencia hecha a golpe de palabras, una rebelión se gesta entre los presos que amenaza aún más su vida y la del hombre que ama, Joska.

Casi cuarenta años después, la joven Bella recibe una caja llena de postales. «Son postales que tu madre escribió cuando estuvo en el Este. Así las llamó: Postales del Este. Ella quería que las leyeras a su debido tiempo. Y ese tiempo es ahora.»

Combinando ficción con personajes históricos como Josef Mengele, Heinrich Himmler, Irma Grese, Rudolf Hoss, Ana Frank o Alma Rosé, Reyes Monforte regresa al género que le ha consagrado como autora. Ricamente documentada y escrita con pasión y emotividad, ha firmado su obra más ambiciosa: una historia sobre el poder liberador de las palabras, en el 75 aniversario de la liberación del campo de concentración de Auschwitz.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A paean to liberty, identity, and hope in the middle of one of the greatest human catastrophes of our history.

Madrid, 1980. A woman receives a box of postcards and photos of people she doesn’t know.

«These are the postcards your mother wrote when she was in Auschwitz.» In these letters, she will discover the secret that her mother, Elle, kept for thirty-five years: that she was a prisoner of the Nazis and kept texts and photographs from the women in the concentration camp. She wanted to write their stories. One of them is Maria Mandel, a real person, the cruelest and most bloodthirsty SS women, who lived during the Third Reich, and who would take Elle on as her reluctant protégée. Josef Mengele, Heinrich Himmler, Irma Grese, Ana Frank, Alma Rosé, and Gisella Peri also make their appearance.
